Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in Changan vehicles?

[MasonMarie]

The cigarette lighter fuse in Changan vehicles is located behind the front storage compartment on the passenger side. Functions of the cigarette lighter: 1. Lighting cigarettes, allowing you to light cigarettes even when a lighter is not available. 2. Charging devices, using the DC power from the cigarette lighter to charge devices like dash cams. 3. Charging mobile phones, and it can even charge phones when the engine is turned off. Precautions for using the cigarette lighter: 1. Do not overload when using the cigarette lighter for charging. 2. Avoid using substandard car accessories. 3. Avoid leaving the cigarette lighter socket exposed for long periods to prevent poor contact, failure, or short circuits caused by foreign objects entering the socket.

I've been driving a Changan car for several years and encountered a malfunctioning cigarette lighter. The fuse is usually located in the cabin fuse box under the steering wheel. The box is behind the trim panel near your left foot—just lift the cover to see a bunch of small fuses. Check the owner's manual for the exact position; it has diagrams showing which one corresponds to the cigarette lighter. If you don't have the manual, look at the label diagram inside the fuse box cover—the numbered or illustrated markings are clear. Remember, cigarette lighter fuses often blow due to excessive power draw from external devices, like overloading the current when charging a power bank. Safety first: disconnect the car key before replacing the fuse, and never use a coin as a substitute to avoid fire risks. Replacing it with a new fuse of the same color and amperage costs just around ten yuan.

As someone who frequently works on cars, I can tell you that most Chang'an cigarette lighter fuses are located in the fuse box under the dashboard. Specifically, you need to open the driver's side door and look for a small panel on the lower left side—just pry it open. The fuses inside are neatly arranged; look for the F-series number or the slot labeled "cigar." If the cigarette lighter suddenly stops working, first check if any warning lights are on the dashboard—a blown fuse could be due to a short circuit or overload. Always disconnect the power before inspection, use specialized small pliers to remove the bad fuse and replace it, and avoid tampering with other wiring. It's advisable to regularly clean out clutter in the car to avoid damaging wiring harnesses or causing fires. If you're a beginner and unsure, check your phone app for the vehicle's repair guide or online tutorials—it's simple and effortless to follow.

If the cigarette lighter fuse is blown, in most Changan cars, it's located in the fuse box near the driver's footwell area. Just look down and pry open the trim panel to access it. Always turn off the engine before replacing the fuse to ensure safety. Common causes of fuse blowouts include overloaded device charging or poor contact. To prevent this, avoid frequently using high-power converters. If unsure where to find it, consider seeking help from a local auto repair shop.
